this is age-ism, but i really don't think anyone past 80 should be in charge of anything beyond self-care
Old people who are smart, retire and enjoy their later years as much as they are able. Shitty con artists grab on until the last breath of their rotting corpse. It's not about age, it's about character.
I'd argue this bitch is lacking character
You don’t have to apologize. Fuck old people. Let them die miserably in their gold filled coffers which they can’t take with them when the worms are eating their innerds 6 feet under. Greedy fucks.
This feels unhinged
I’m not a door, Frank.
So you are unhinged! I just knew it!
Got 'em!
Oh no I'm back on Xanga
Well this seems unnecessary. It's not really about being old that makes these people suck.
If you’re old enough to have black and white photos as an adult, you shouldn’t be in public office.
Age-ism is valid
Bigotry is bigotry.
